Answer: proportion of candies are green.
Solution:
In bag A, candies are yellow.
this proportion shows ratio of favorable over total candies.
Here numerator number is 2.
So, Total number of yellow candies should be 2x
Total number of candies in Bag A would be 3x
Number of green candies in bag A = 3x-2x = x
Now we find the portion of green candies in bag A
portion of candies are green in bag A
recalling that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know Hector is going at 12 mph, and he has already covered 18 miles, how long has he been biking already?
so Hector has been biking for those 18 miles for 3/2 of an hour, namely and hour and a half already.
then Wanda kicks in, rolling like a lightning at 16mph.
let's say the "meet" at the same distance "d" at "t" hours after Wanda entered, so that means that Wanda has been traveling for "t" hours, but Hector has been traveling for "t + (3/2)" because he had been biking before Wanda.
the distance both have travelled is the same "d" miles, reason why they "meet", same distance.
